Adeus, if colinmac is feeling generous I'm sure he could pass on the code that I gave him. It might be your first post, but at this point I think most regular EGers will already have asked by now. It's not for me to say though, it's colinmac's call now. So try complimenting him and see how that goes

The Nintendo online infrastructure is really awful, isn't it? First of, I was trying to login on my phone, but because the site isn't optimised for mobile, it took me about ten minutes to stop the login popup shifting and manage to enter my details.

Then when I finally redeem the promotional code, a screen gives me my code for the AC download and tells me it will be emailed to me, as well as be on the top banner of my Nintendo account.... I received the email 18 hours later, and the code didn't appear in my account. Luckily I took a screen-grab of the webpage!

Hi guys - I have a recommendation code and I am willing to swap it for another one? Sounds strange but after registering the 3ds xl and animla crossing game I got a code - but cannot use this code on my said 3ds xl - I want to swap codes as I can use the game I bought on one of my sons 3ds's and use the swapped code on the 3ds xl? sounds confusing - but if anyone is in a similar situtaion or has a code they are willing to swap I would be very grateful - please let me know

I'm having a bit of a problem with the promotion so was wondering if anyone could help?
Paid for a recommendation code and it has been sent but when I try to enter it on the Animal Crossing site a message comes up saying I'm not eligible? I registered my 3DS earlier this afternoon, I really want to play
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Question: I gave my referral code to a friend, she registered the 3DS.... and like a week after that, still she has nowhere to input the code? How does she conjure that eShop download code? Bat wings and lizard tail? Human sacrifice?

More than 24 hours have passed since the first access on the eShop, that was contextual with the connecting it to the Nintendo Club. I really have no more ideas... please help.

Sadly, I mustn't have. Going back over it I just read the instructions for the friend and as you can download it to a 3DS/XL I guess I assumed I'd be eligible. If only they used bold text on the site! Oh well. Looks like I'll be forking out again! Thanks anyway

Awesome. I've re-read the whole T&C and they do everything to make it sound the other way... essentially the point is to register a 3DS XL, and a few lines later they say it will be downloadable on any 3DS/3DS XL. They also keep pointing out 3DS/3DS XL everywhere else that isn't that specific line!
I'm _not_ happy about their wording.... especially because I know only two people with a 3DS, and nobody with an XL.

Hey guys, sorry to log in and beg, but does anyone still have a spare 3DS XL code, or an account eligible for registering the AC:NL code? If someone simply scams me out of the code I'm not THAT bothered, but I'd rather that than see it go to waste.

Can you please realise that WE are not running this programme, it's being run by Nintendo and this is purely a comment thread discussing it, DO NOT come in here and expect to be handed a code on a plate especially if you've registered purely to get one. Any codes given out are being supplied by forum members from their own accounts to other forum members, at least have the decency to ASK if someone can help you with one rather than practically demanding one.

@YenRug I wasn't demanding for one just asking for one because they offered codes. But you must have misunderstood my replies. Please accept my apologies if this has caused some disturbances. Next time I'll just PM them. Sorry again

Hey guys, I'm also new to the forums. I would appreciate it very much if someone could spare a code for me. I tried some of my real friends with the 3DSes and none of them had the game yet, which is why I'm turning to you for the help.
